Sandy believes that all humans have infinite capacity for happiness, excellent health, abundance and achievement. For many of us, unhappiness, ill health, financial challenges and dissatisfaction are our reality - and of course we're all living somewhere along that continuum. So often the only thing holding us back from living at the most fun end of the continuum is ourselves - we're blocked by our understanding or our response to our life's events.

I've been practicing yoga for about 8 years. I attribute the majority of my training to Simon Borg Olivier MSc BAppSc(Physiotherapy) and Bianca Machliss BSc BAppSc(Physiotherapy) at Yoga Synergy in Sydney. Amongst other teachers, I also trained under John Ogilvie at the Byron Yoga Centre.
In the classes I teach, my main focus is that everyone ENJOYS the class. I cant emphasise that enough. On a technical level, I like to incorporate the flow of Vinyasa (constant and conscious movement.. even if it's only the breath) and articulate each posture (and movement between postures) with the details offered by the Iyengar approach.
